“…Such interventions have been growing steadily even before the pandemic. A prior study showed that students preferred (hypothetically) in-person to online interventions, but that students whose reason for not seeking help included embarrassment, worry about harm to one's academic career, wanting to handle problems on one's own, and uncertainty about treatment efficacy, as well as those having depression or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, had a greater preference for eHealth delivery methods than other students (Benjet et al, 2020). Whereas exclusive remote learning is most certainly time limited due to COVID-19, there may be longer lasting benefits for willingness to engage in stress management programs online.…”

“…Primero, se hicieron tres entrevistas exploratorias, para revisar la guía y organizar los tópicos de la entrevista, a través de una triangulación de información entre dos expertos en temas de salud mental con alumnos universitarios para identificar las categorías de análisis que guiaron el estudio final, donde se partió de la revisión de la literatura científica y de las barreras de tratamiento reportadas en el estudio de PUERTAS (Benjet et al, 2020), y se consideró la experiencia al recibir tratamiento y la percepción del comportamiento suicida. Se aportó claridad en las preguntas y de sentimientos expresados al momento de estar en el encuentro.…”

Introduction.To reduce the important gap between mental health needs and low treatment utilization among college students, it is important to identify treatment barriers and preferences. Objective. To understand university students´ perceptions of barriers and preferences for in-person and online mental health services on campus, in the community and through internet. Material and Methods. This is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study of 17 students from the PUERTAS project in two Mexican universities, one private, one public. Students were interviewed in depth and the narratives were analyzed by categorization of meanings. Results. In-person treatment was identified as a preference, in addition to highlighting the scarce promotion of mental health services in the university and community context, and little knowledge of online interventions. Conclusions. There is a need for greater dissemination of available in-person and online mental health treatment services in the university context as well as strategies to address barriers to care.

“…. Un bajo porcentaje de los universitarios que viven con trastornos mentales reciben tratamiento y se ha encontrado que, entre los universitarios, los principales diagnósticos son la ansiedad y la depresión (Benjet et al, 2019;Benjet et al, 2020) y estos se pueden incrementar en este tiempo de pandemia. Se sabe que los trastornos con mayor prevalencia y cormobilidad son los denominados internos: ansiedad y depresión, estos son más altos en las mujeres que en hombres, tanto en población general (Arevalo et al, 2019;Gaitán et al, 2020;Medina-Mora et al, 2003) como en universitarios de pregrado (Auerbach et al, 2019) y de posgrado (da Costa & Nebel, 2018;Vásquez & Ríos, 2009) cuando se combinada la ansiedad y la depresión aumenta una tercera parte (33.0%) y con pacientes y cormobilidad por COVID incrementa al 55% (Luo, et al, 2020).…”

Introduction: COVID-19, a respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. It has affected millions of people and represents an unprecedented threat not only to health, but also to the economy and educational processes. In the confinement, one of the vulnerable groups is that of students of various academic degrees. The objective was to describe the manifestations of psychological discomfort and health derived from the confinement measures in students of a private university in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. A secondary objective, due to the inclusion criteria, was to evaluate the differences between undergraduate and graduate students, as well as the associated factors in social coexistence, vulnerable groups and health measures. Method: The participants were 641 students who were administered an online survey with a response rate of 77.6%. The participants were 63.1% women and 36.9% men. A total of 60.8% were undergraduate students and 39.2% graduate students. The mean age was 25.3 years. The instrument of measurement consists of 24 items, integrating Kessler's K-6 scale, with 6 specific questions on psychological distress referring to symptoms of anxiety and depression in the last month. Four questions on health aspects regarding COVID-19, 8 on healthy distance measures, and 6 on coexistence and habits at home were included. An odds ratio analysis was performed to identify the associated risk of health and coexistence with respect to psychological distress. At each stage, the ethical principles for the research were complied with and the dignity of the participants was respected, as well as the lawful treatment of personal information based on the principles of the current regulatory framework. Results: The 92.6% lived in confinement with family, and the remainder alone or with friends. The 96.2% indicated not having symptoms of COVID. The 44.7% did not have a daily routine, 27.4% went out daily in confinement and 48.3% presented moderate to high and very high levels of psychological distress. A higher risk of presenting psychological distress was identified in women, postgraduate students, belonging to the health and humanities areas, presenting obesity and concern about being infected, not following sanitary measures and presenting any physical discomfort (ORs ranging from 2.05 to 7.02). Discussion and conclusion: As in other populations, the monitoring of confinement measures is not uniform and there is a high proportion of psychological distress in undergraduate and graduate students. It is suggested to serve the population with higher risk with a comprehensive care model that incorporates the educational process, social coexistence and emotional management.
